No matter what the doctors say about Peyton Manning's health for next year, this is the pick that the Colts have to make for the long-term future of the franchise.
-
The Rams have to keep their franchise QB upright, healthy and provide viable targets for him. The best WR in college football is a nice start.
-
The highest-rated OT is a nice place to begin the rebuilding process on the OL for the Vikings. With a young QB in Christian Ponder needing to be protected, this is a good idea. But why do I keep feeling the Vikes' braintrust will have heavy debates about taking QB Robert Griffin III here?
-
Colt McCoy had an opportunity but didn't seize it. Now, the Browns will have a chance to draft the accurate throwing Heisman Trophy winner.
-
Overshadowed by exciting teammate Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu, Claiborne was quietly the best cover guy in college football. A nice fit for the Bucs.
-
Many expect Washington to make a play for Robert Griffin III or draft Trent Richardson of Alabama. Mike Shanahan's system has always seen production from lower-round backs. The OL still needs help.
-
The defense actually performed admirably during the season, but the talented Kirkpatrick is hard to pass up.
-
Head coach Ron Rivera, a former linebacker and defensive coordinator, is eager to shore up his struggling defense. The All-American from Penn State fills a prominent need.
-
The bigger need would appear to be WR, but despite the drafting last year of RB Daniel Thomas, the availability of the Heisman finalist makes him the choice in South Beach.
-
Add him to last year's first-round selection of Marcell Dareus, not to mention the underappreciated Kyle Williams, and the Bills are building themselves a defensive front.
-
With the Chiefs still seeking to fortify the OL, the talented Reiff is the choice.
-
The 'Hawks still need someone to stretch defenses, and RG III's favorite target is one who can.
-
This college DE will flat-out rush the passer.
-
The back end of the defense continues to need attention, and this cover guy from Nebraska is someone the Cowboys need to help defend the NFL's new-age passing attacks.
-
The Eagles drafted Casey Matthews to play MLB, but that didn't work out. They will try again with the tackling machine.
-
The Jets have a glaring need for a pass rusher, and this youngster really came on late.
-
Had to leave Florida due to numerous off-field issues, but his talent is off the charts. Johnathan Joseph has to be replaced in the Queen City.
-
With the possible loss of Vincent Jackson, wideout becomes a real need for the Chargers. Philip Rivers will welcome another big, strong, fast wideout who can help SD find its way back to the playoffs.
-
The offensive line continues to need shoring up. The All-American from Palo Alto is a solid player who the Bears should be able to plug in right away.
-
This athlete can play all three LB spots, but figure him to eventually settle in the middle.
-
Wisconsin linemen are always well-regarded.
-
Robert Griffin III will applaud this selection, as a TE is often a young QB's security blanket.
-
As the Lions continue to build a team, they still need help in the secondary, and Gilmore will push their existing starters beginning in minicamp.
-
Sounding like a broken record, but Big Ben needs to get hit less.
-
He was an absolute force inside for the Spartans, and really played well in the Big 10 title game against the best line in the league in Wisconsin.
-
Andre Johnson (not to mention Matt Schaub) needs some help. SOS to the youngster from Rutgers.
-
Upshaw is well-schooled in pro-style defenses and fresh off a national championship. The 31st-ranked defense gets an infusion of talent.
-
Not much pressure applied to Eli Manning in the Pack's loss in the playoffs means pass rush help-wanted shingle on office doors at Lambeau Field.
-
No knock on Chase Blackburn, but the Giants are always on the alert for defensive help. In this case, it's at LB.
-
Ed Reed can play forever, can't he? Well, he may not want to, and the Ravens bring in his eventual replacement for some tutoring first.
-
Still seeking firepower from the WR position. The Braylon Edwards experiment did not work out, and Michael Crabtree needs some competition for the No. 1 receiver role. QB Alex Smith won't mind, either.
-
Perennial All-Pro Vince Wilfork's successor could be here.
